====== 2019 Crustal Deformation Modeling Tutorial ======
===== June 10-11, 2019 =====


This tutorial will focus on providing training in the use of the CIG PyLith software for quasi-static modeling of crustal deformation, with an emphasis on interseismic, coseismic, and postseismic deformation. The training will also include instruction in CUBIT/Trelis for creating finite-element meshes as input for PyLith and visualizing PyLith output using Paraview.

Instructors: Brad Aagaard, Charles Williams, Matthew Knepley


**Note**: The content for this set of tutorials is incomplete, because they were presented in person for beta version of PyLith v3.0.0. We will be providing a full set of online content (slides and videos) once version 3.0.0 is released.

----


==== Getting Started ====

  - Download PyLith v3.0.0beta from [[https://github.com/geodynamics/pylith/releases]]
  - Create a play area to modify the examples

    cd PATH_TO_PYLITH_DIR
    mkdir playpen
    cp -r src/pylith-3.0.0beta1/examples playpen/
